Workin’ Girl
Forever the tightest-tucked queen in the game, RuPaul has always been equal parts business woman and glam guru. Channeling her inner Tyra, the performer-producer-reality star extraordinaire is about to add another hyphenate. Following the Drag Race season two premiere comes the release of Workin’ It! RuPaul’s Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style. In the new book, the Orwell-reading, Demeulemeester-loving authoress advocates the importance of inner balance and not taking life too seriously—except when it comes to her weave. “Drag and style are very important to me,” she tells W, “parts of it should be important to you too.” But she takes a different tone when it comes to Fashion Week. “I love fashion, love color…love all of that. But all of the people who surround that are rot-ten.” To which we say: if anyone’s got the cojones to go toe-to-toe with a few fashion bitches, it’s you, girl.
